Today’s review is from a completely new brewery for me, Gweilo. Originally based in Hong Kong, they often have collaborations and partnerships with UK breweries such as Vocation or Brew York to help bring their beers to the people of Britain. The name Gweilo comes from a slang term in the Cantonese language, meaning ‘white ghost’, but is often used to reference westerners in Hong … Continue reading Beer Review: Rainbow Sherbet Sour – Gweilo Beer
This beer is the first alcohol free beer I’ve reviewed since the ‘triumphant’ return of the blog.

We did a little hike which ended at a temple famous for it’s particularly large Buddha statue. Any temple of repute, of course, has it’s own gift shop selling all manner of thing but most importantly selling … Continue reading Beer Review: Kamakura Moon – Kamakura Beer
